In this study, we fabricated a polymer light emitting diode (PLED) and investigated its electrical and optical characteristics in order to examine the effects of the PFO [poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-2-7-diyl) end capped with N,N-bis(4-methylphenyl)-4-aniline] concentrations in the emission layer (EML). The PFO polymer was dissolved in toluene ranging from 0.2 to 1.2 wt%, and then spin-coated. To verify the influence of the TPBI [2,2',2"-(1,3,5-Benzinetriyl)-tris(1-phenyl-1-H-benzimidazole)]electron transport layer, TPBI small molecules were deposited by thermal evaporation. The current density, luminance, wavelength and current efficiency characteristics of the prepared PLED devices with and without TPBI layer at various PFO concentrations were measured and compared. The luminance and current efficiency of the PLED devices without TPBI layer were increased, from 117 to $553\;cd/m^2$ and from 0.015 to 0.110 cd/A, as the PFO concentration increased from 0.2 to 1.0 wt%. For the PLED devices with TPBI layer, the luminance and current efficiency were $1724\;cd/m^2$ and 0.501 cd/A at 1.0 wt% PFO concentration. The CIE color coordinators of the PLED device with TPBI layer at 1.0 wt% PFO concentration showed a more pure blue color compared with the one without TPBI, and the CIE values varied from (x, y) = (0.21, 0.23) to (x, y) = (0.16, 0.11).

Simple and high efficiency green phosphorescent devices using an intermixed double host of 4, 4', 4"-tris(N-carbazolyl) triphenylamine [TCTA], 1, 3, 5-tris (N-phenylbenzimiazole-2-yl) benzene [TPBI], phosphorescent dye of tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium(III) [$Ir(ppy)_3$], and selective doping in the TPBI region were fabricated, and their electro luminescent characteristics were evaluated. In the device fabrication, layers of $70{\AA}$-TCTA/$90{\AA}$-$TCTA_[0.5}TPBI_{0.5}$/$90{\AA}$-TPBI doped with $Ir(ppy)_3$ of 8% and an undoped layer of $50{\AA}$-TPBI were successively deposited to form an emission region, and SFC137 [proprietary electron transporting material] with three different thicknesses of $300{\AA}$, $500{\AA}$, and $700{\AA}$ were used as an electron transport layer. The device with $500{\AA}$-SFC137 showed the luminance of $48,300\;cd/m^2$ at an applied voltage of 10 V, and a maximum current efficiency of 57 cd/A under a luminance of $230\;cd/m^2$. The peak wavelength in the electroluminescent spectral and color coordinates on the Commission Internationale de I'Eclairage [CIE] chart were 512 nm and (0.31, 0.62), respectively.

The yellow base polymer light emitting diodes(PLEDs) with double emission and hole blocking layers were prepared to improve the light efficiency. ITO(indium tin oxide) and PEDOT : PSS[poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) : poly(styrene sulfolnate)] were used as cathode and hole transport materials. The PFO[poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene)] and MEH-PPV[poly(2-methoxy-5(2-ethylhe xoxy)-1,4-phenylenevinyle)] were used as the light emitting host and guest materials, respectively. TPBI[Tpbi1,3,5-tris(N-phenylbenzimidazol-2-yl)benzene] was used as hole blocking layer. To investigate the optimization of device structure, we prepared four kinds of PLED devices with different structures such as single emission layer(PFO : MEH-PPV), two double emission layer(PFO/PFO : MEH-PPV, PFO : MEH-PPV/PFO) and double emission layer with hole blocking layer(PFO/PFO : MEH-PPV/TPBI). The electrical and optical properties of prepared devices were compared. The prepared PLED showed yellow emission color with CIE color coordinates of x = 0.48, y = 0.48 at the applied voltage of 14V. The maximum luminance and current density were found to be about 3920 cd/$m^2$ and 130 mA/$cm^2$ at 14V, respectively for the PLED device with the structure of ITO/PEDOT : PSS/PFO/PFO : MEH-PPV/TPBI/LiF/Al.

ITO 투명전극을 양극으로 사용하고 PEDOT:PSS 고분자 물질위에 PVK와 Ir(ppy)3를 각각 host와 dopant로 사용하여 고분자 발광다이오드를 제작하였다. 전자 수송층의 역할로 TPBI, 음극으로 Al을 증착하여 최종적으로 ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PVK:Ir(ppy)3/TPBI/LiF/Al 구조를 갖는 녹색 인광 고분자 유기발광소자(PhPLED)를 제작하였다. 제작 된 소자의 발광부 dopant인 Ir(ppy)3도핑 농도에 따른 전기적 광학적 특성을 평가하였다. PVK:Ir(ppy)3를 host와 dopant system으로 dopant Ir(ppy)3의 도핑 양을 0.5 wt%에서2.5 wt%까지 씩 변화시키면서 최적의 농도를 찾고자 하였다. TPBI를 전자 수송층으로 사용 하였을 경우 최대 휘도는 약 8600 cd/$m^2$ (at 8V)이고, 전류밀도는 337mA/$cm^2$ 를 나타내었다.

유기발광소자는 낮은 구동전압, 빠른 응답속도, 넓은 시야각 등의 장점으로 소형 디스플레이에 사용되며 차세대 조명으로 관심을 받고 있다. 고효율의 유기발광소자를 제작하기 위해서 다양한 유기 인광물질 합성 및 연구가 진행되고 있으며, 다양한 호스트 물질을 사용하여 전자와 정공의 주입을 향상하여 고효율의 인광 유기발광소자를 제작하였다. 본 논문에서는 발광층에 N,N'-dicarbazolyl-3,5-benzene (mCP)와 1,3,5-tri(phenyl-2-benzimidazole)-benzene (TPBi)를 혼합 호스트로 사용하였으며 tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium ($Ir(ppy)_3$)청색 인광물질을 도핑하여 고효율의 인광 유기발광소자를 제작하였다. 유기발광소자의 발광층에 단일 호스트와 혼합 호스트의 전기적 및 광학적 특성을 비교 분석하여 전자 및 정공 수송 메커니즘을 규명하였다. 혼합 호스트 TPBi의 lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) 준위와 엑시톤 저지층 2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (BCP)의 LUMO 준위와 비슷하여 전자의 주입을 향상시키는 역할을 하며, 다른 혼합 호스트 mCP는 highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)와 정공수송층 N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(1-naphthyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (NPB)의 HOMO와 비슷하여 정공의 주입을 향상시키는 역할을 하여, $Ir(ppy)_3$에 전자와 정공의 주입이 향상되어 고 효율의 인광 유기발광소자를 제작할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 실험결과는 인광 유기발광소자의 호스트 물질에 따른 전하주입 메커니즘을 설명 하였으며 고효율의 인광 유기발광소자 제작에 도움을 줄 것이다.

A mixed host structure of TCTA and TPBI was used in orange emitting layer and host composition was critical to device performances of PHWOLEDs. PHWOLEDs with TPBI host in orange emitting layer showed high quantum efficiency of 10.3 % at $1000\;cd/m^2$ with little change of CIE coordinates of (0.32, 0.34) from $100\;cd/m^2$ to $10,000\;cd/m^2$.

Solution-processed organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have the advantages of low cost, fast fabrication, and large-area devices. However, most studies on solution-processed OLEDs have mainly focused on solution-processable hole transporting materials or emissive materials. Here, we report fully solution-processed green OLEDs including hole/electron transport layers and emissive layers. The electrical and optical properties of OLEDs based on solution-processed TPBi (2,2',2"-(1,3,5-Benzinetriyl)-tris(1-phenyl-1-H-benzimidazole)) as the electron transport layer were investigated with respect to the spin speed and the number of layers. The performance of OLEDs with solution-processed TPBi exhibits a power efficiency of 9.4 lm/W. We believe that the solution-processed electron transport layers can contribute to the development of efficient fully solution-processed multilayered OLEDs.

We have investigated the effect of host on the device charactistics of green phosphorescent organic light emitting devices consising of mCP, CBP and TPBi. Electrons were confined within the device by inserting hole transport layer between the electro transport and the emitting layer. When the appropriate interlayers were added, the device with TPBI host layer performances were found to be dramatically enhanced, with current efficiency and lifetime of 18cd/A and 18hour.

We demonstrate the hybrid polymer-quantum dot based multi-functional device (Organic bistable devices, Light-emitting diode, and Photovoltaic cell) with a single active-layer structure consisting of CdSe/ZnS semiconductor quantum-dots (QDs) dispersed in a poly N-vinylcarbazole (PVK) and 1,3,5-tirs- (N-phenylbenzimidazol-2-yl) benzene (TPBi) fabricated on indium-tin-oxide (ITO)/glass substrate by using a simple spin coating technique. The multi-functionality of the device as Organic bistable device (OBD), Light Emitting Diode (LED), and Photovoltaic cell can be successfully achieved by adding an electron transport layer (ETL) TPBi to OBD for attaining the functions of LED and Photovoltaic cell in which the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) level of TPBi is positioned at the energy level between the conduction band of CdSe/ZnS and LiF/Al electrode (band-gap engineering). Through transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study, the active layer of the device has a p-i-n structure of a consolidated core-shell structure in which semiconductor QDs are uniformly and isotropically adsorbed on the surface of a p-type polymer core and the n-type small molecular organic materials surround the semiconductor QDs.
